Tchaikovsky: Pique Dame

Label: Philips Cat. No.: 070 434-9 Medium: DVD No. Discs: 1

Format: NTSC All Region 16:9 DTS Digital 5.1 Surround / Dolby Digital Stereo.

Alongside Eugene Onegin, Pique Dame is Tchaikovsky's most celebrated opera, its dark tale of obsession conquering love inspiring some of Tchaikovsky's most tormented music. But there is a lighter, more glamorous side to the opera, offering a welcome contrast to the demonic drive of its central character, the gambler Herman. This is the spectacular, Rococo-period setting of the story, which takes place in the Kirov Opera's home city of St Petersburg. This serves as Tchaikovsky's cue for elegant 18th century pastiche (such as the Countess's Gretry aria) and the producer's cue for the magnificent, palatial set designs created for the opera's great public scenes.

This outstanding Pique Dame was one of the pioneering series of Gergiev / Kirov Opera productions released on the Philips label during the 1990s. It boasts a cast of leading Russian principals, including Sergei Leiferkus and Olga Borodina.
